Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced electric drive systems are being developed to realize higher efficient powertrain systems, reducing systems operation costs and yielding higher a lifetime of future transportation systems. New research is required in understand how these new systems are being optimized, being subject to balancing design tradeoffs between zero emission driving ranges, providing auxiliary loads, thermal demands (cooling, heating, etc.), optimal component efficiencies, heat regeneration, battery fast/slow charging/discharging, etc., in strong electrified systems. For example, studying active versus passive cooling concepts for e-machines, power electronics, battery and transmission systems in understanding the benefits of controlled cooling, heat recuperation, cost reduction or how to further improve the life time of electric storage systems. These developments require advanced system design methods for integrated designs of electrical, mechanical and thermal architecture, specifying subsystems, components, and control systems.
This Special Issue is proposed to focus on the state-of-the-art research and development, as well as future trends, in “Integrated Thermal Management Architecture, Modeling and Simulation for Control of EVs”.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Modeling, simulation and design of heat recuperation systems, architectures, powertrains, components and systems
- Integrated energy management strategies and vehicle control systems
- Electric components, thermal control, batteries, power electronics
- HVAC system designs, cabin thermal control, heat pumps, battery pack design
- Waste heat recovery systems, modeling, simulation, design
- Automotive, buses, coaches, trucks, passenger cars applications
Potential authors are invited to submit their original contributions for consideration to be published in this Special Issue. A thorough peer review will be conducted to select top papers to be included in this Special Issue.
